Asteroid 2024 YR4 is no longer a threat to Earth, scientists say

Scientists have finally given the all-clear to Earth from a newly discovered asteroid. After two months of observations, scientists have almost fully ruled out any threat from the asteroid 2024 YR4, NASA and the European Space Agency said Tuesday.

The chance that a football field-sized asteroid capable of destroying a city will strike Earth in 2032 has fallen to 0.001 percent, the European Space Agency said on Tuesday.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses significant threat to Earth in 2032, NASA's latest analysis determines

The 2024 YR4 asteroid, which is nearly the size of a football field, now has roughly a 0.004% chance of hitting Earth in about eight years, according to the space agency's latest calculations. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies previously projected a 3% chance of the asteroid striking our planet before lowering the chance to 0.28% last week.

Scientists (mostly) rule out this newly discovered asteroid hitting Earth in the next decade

There’s still a 1.7 percent chance that asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the moon on Dec. 22, 2032, according to NASA.
